Journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee pardoned and released by North Korea

Posted on August 4, 2009 by jozjozjoz

According to North Korean state-run news agency KCNA, Kim Jong-Il has pardoned Laura Ling and Euna Lee. News of the pardons came hours after former President Bill Clinton met with the North Korean leader to discuss the case of the two reporters who had been indicted, tried, imprisoned, and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor by North Korea for supposedly “illegally entering” the country. According to @LiberateLaura, “Bill Clinton reportedly flew to NK from Anchorage, Alaska. Presumably, that is the way he will return w/Ling-Lee.” Hey Bill Clinton, you’re kinda alright in our book!

About jozjozjoz

jozjozjoz is a taiwanese-american gal who lives and blogs underneath the hollywood sign and who doesn’t clean her fishtank unless the fish starts to do the backstroke. she is also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but cannot stop from bumping into door handles, cabinet doors, and anything else that protrudes or has a sharp edge. she does not run with scissors for this same reason. she can pet the fur off a dog but don’t ask her to go anywhere near a horse. or a moth. or a roach. her dealings with L.A.’s finest (aka the parking violations department) are legend, as are her giant sneezes. Other than the two too many joz’s, jozjozjoz is a perfectly normal, relatively sane individual who defies the odds, reaches for the stars, and carries moonbeams home in a jar. She’d rather be a fish… but not in her own dirty fishtank. http://www.jozjozjoz.com
